Bottle Data 

Description: The WoceBtl collection contains hydrographic, nutrient and tracer data from the one-time and repeat WOCE Hydrographic Program (*_hy1.csv files from the WHPO web-site as of May/27/2002). Also included are more than 2000 stations from pre-WOCE cruises.

Note that the data in the WoceBtl collection have been scanned for outliers using the interactive and automatic methods of the ODV software. A number of data points have subsequently been marked questionable or bad in the WoceBtl data collection. See file WoceBtl.log for a log of these changes. Within ODV you can utilize the data quality information to filter data by means of the sample selection criteria.
